The Cup Of Eternal Life

                                           
                                                Mat 20:20 ASV - Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a certain thing of him.  
Mat 20:21 ASV - And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom .  There is a matter of sacrifice to be made here , as to being called and also chosen .                Rom 12:1 ASV - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.    And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  We see here that Gods perfect will for all man kind is to become a living sacrifice
  Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.  The cross here is an instrument of suffering spiritually we must die to our carnal desires . Jesus has delivered us from the power of sin and death .  Jesus said he was the door unto the sheep fold     Jhn 14:5 ASV - Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?     Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.  

Luk 12:50 ASV - But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!  Straitened  Greek: sunecho
Anguish:  akin to A, No. 3, lit., "to hold together," is used physically of being held, or thronged, Luk 8:45; 19:43; 22:63; of being taken with a malady, Mat 4:24; Luk 4:38; Act 28:8; with fear, Luk 8:37; of being straitened or pressed in spirit, with desire, Luk 12:50; Act 18:5; Phl 1:23;   Jesus took the cup of anguish for the sins of the world .   And we have our cup to drink also , our cup is to obey his gospel to the fullest we as children must get on our cross and put to death our carnal appetites .  Jesus was preaching the cross as he walked the earth .   It is a spiritual death we die just as he died the physical death as the lamb of his fathers sacrifice .    We die to self our carnal nature of Adam we let this word of the spirit the sword of truth cut away every thing in our life's that does not conform to this gospel.
Luk 3:16 ASV - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:     Fire pur  of the holiness of God, which consumes all that is inconsistent therewith, Hbr 10:27; 12:29; cp. Rev 1:14; 2:18; 10:1; 15:2; 19:12; similarly of the holy angels as His ministers, Hbr 1:7; in Rev 3:18 it is symbolic of that which tries the faith of saints, producing what will glorify the Lord;   of the Divine judgment, testing the deeds of believers, at the judgment seat of Christ, 1Cr 3:13, 15;

Mat 16:24 ASV - Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.   For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.   For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?    For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds. Rom 6:2 ASV - God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?   Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?   We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.   For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;  knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 

Heb 12:14 ASV - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:  Sanctification       separation to God, 1Cr 1:30; 2Th 2:13; 1Pe 1:2; the resultant state, the conduct befitting those so separated, 1Th 4:3, 4, 7, and the four other places mentioned above. "Sanctification" is thus the state predetermined by God for believers, into which in grace He calls them, and in which they begin their Christian course and so pursue it. Hence they are called "saints" (hagioi).

Mat 20:22 ASV - But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.    Jesus is saying here to set in my fathers kingdom you must drink of the cup I am about to drink .          Mat 20:23 ASV - He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.    The father has given his son as the door into his kingdom and for a man to be worthy .    Jhn 10:7 ASV - Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.  

Jhn 10:9 ASV - I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.   Jesus says he is the door into his fathers kingdom and there is no other way unto God but through him .  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.  As to religions there is only one way to receive eternal salvation . It is in his word Jesus is the same today as he was in that day , Mat 16:6 ASV - And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.  Leaven Zume     of corrupt doctrine, Mat 13:33; Luk 13:21, of error as mixed with the truth (there is no valid reason for regarding the symbol here differently from its application elsewhere in the NT); Mat 16:6, 11; Mar 8:15 (1st part); Luk 12:1; that the kingdom of heaven is likened to "leaven," does not mean that the kingdom is "leaven." The same statement, as made in other parables, shows that it is the whole parable which constitutes the similitude of the kingdom; the history of Christendom confirms the fact that the pure meal of the doctrine of Christ has been adulterated with error .

The only absolute truth for you to have and believe is Gods word , their is no other doctrine or gospel that can save man kind .  Jhn 10:7 ASV - Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.  All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.   The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. 

2Th 2:1 ASV - Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;  to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,  he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.    

 1Pe 4:6 ASV - For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.   But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer: 

Jhn 12:47 ASV - And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.   He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.    There is only one gospel and Jesus said in       Luk 4:18 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,   To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

Jhn 6:35 ASV - Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.                                                                               

Jhn 6:48 ASV - I am the bread of life.

Having Ears To Hear And Eyes To See

        Pro 4:11 ASV - I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in paths of uprightness.
Pro 4:12 ASV - When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Pro 4:13 ASV - Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life.
                   

Luk 23:27 ASV - And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.
Luk 23:28 ASV - But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Luk 23:29 ASV - For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
Luk 23:30 ASV - Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
Luk 23:31 ASV - For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

With great haste they brought him to his cross , Jesus was nail to a green tree symbolizing his deity and authority .    And the dry tree symbolizing their rejection of the son of God and its  consequences ​​of rejecting Gods only son .        Luk 13:35 ASV - Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

   Green tree      Greek: hugros  Green:
denotes "wet, moist" (the opposite of xeros, "dry"); said of wood, sappy, "green," Luk 23:31, i.e., if they thus by the fire of their wrath treated Christ, the guiltless, holy, the fruitful, what would be the fate of the perpetrators, who were like the dry wood, exposed to the fire of Divine wrath.
The tree     Greek: xulon   of "the cross," the tree being the stauros, the upright pale or stake to which Romans nailed those who were thus to be executed, Act 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; Gal 3:13; 1Pe 2:24;    as a beam from which any one is suspended, a gibbet, a cross
Dry   Greek: hugros  Green denotes "wet, moist" (the opposite of xeros, "dry"); said of wood, sappy, "green," Luk 23:31, i.e., if they thus by the fire of their wrath treated Christ, the guiltless, holy, the fruitful, what would be the fate of the perpetrators, who were like the dry wood, exposed to the fire of Divine wrath.    figuratively, in Luk 23:31, with reference to the spiritual "barrenness" of the Jews, in contrast to the character of the Lord. Cp. Psa 1:3; Isa 56:3; Eze 17:24; 20:47.

By reading this account in the gospels of his arrest and judgement We can see there was  such hatred and malice and it all took place in the same time span .  From his arrest to his crucifixion it was nonstop until they saw him die on that green tree . The weight of the sin of the world had its way for those hours of his agony  .   For God loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for the sins of the world and we being that world , Isa 53:10 ASV - Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.    Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:    who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.   We lose our identity with Adam and his flesh ,  being born again of God  .  

 

 1Co 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Being born of the water and of his spirit   .                       
2Co 3:3 ASV - being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables that are hearts of flesh.
2Co 3:6 ASV - who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

 Jhn 13:27 ASV - And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.   So now the sign the Jews ask for was coming ,   Judas was the sign in prophecy spoken in the old testament and Jesus was betrayed for thirty pieces of silver . Silver is a type of the blood of Christ he paid the ransom for mankind with his blood sacrifice .Lev 17:11 ASV - For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.   Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.   But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.                                                                                                                  

 Mat 27:21 ASV - But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
Mat 27:26 ASV - Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.    Barabbas = "son of a father or master"  Barabbas is a type of lost mankind he was the type and shadow of you and I  and he was destine to go to his death on the cross just as the other two lost men .       This is the judgement for their sin ,   Pilate already had Barabbas judged and condemned for crucifixion .    This is where our Passover Lamb comes becomes our savior  he is crucified  instead of Barabbas Jesus takes our place on the cross .                            

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  Rom 8 : 1-11                                          For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.
Judas in  Greek = Son of a father or some writings say son of a rabbi ,  Judas was not just a disciple he was a chosen as an Apostle one of the twelve . He was in the time of his walking with Jesus  appointed to hold the bag of money that would be given to  Jesus and the other Apostles for their  support in ministry .
       
Mat 10:1 ASV - And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.  Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother . Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; ;    Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him .                                                  
  A disciple is a learner of the gospel of God  Jesus taught ,  and an Apostle was one that was sent to preach that gospel.   Judas was an Apostle as the scripture below shows ,

Juda Iscariot  prophetically   
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

 Jesus knew who Judas Iscariot was from the beginning of his ministry , it was prophetically written in the old testament foretelling of the coming Christ the messiah
Psa 41:9 ASV - Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.
Jhn 13:18 ASV - I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me.   And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.    Satan entered  Judas and then Judas betrayed Jesus Christ .

  Jhn 2:18 ASV - The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
Jhn 2:19 ASV - Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jhn 2:20 ASV - The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
Jhn 2:21 ASV - But he spake of the temple of his body.   
               
Mat 12:40 ASV - for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.   Death , burial and his resurrection .        Eph 4:8 ASV - Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.  (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;     for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:  till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:  Jesus is the light of the world      Eph 5:8 ASV - For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light  Eph 5:9 ASV - (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
Eph 5:10 ASV - proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
Eph 5:11 ASV - and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;  


Friends this is the full gospel pertaining to the prophecy of Isaiah 61 and also the fulfillment of it in    Luk 4:17 ASV - And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,  he Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor:
He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised,    This word bruised is to be shattered  

  To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.     And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.     And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.    Jesus and his life in scripture is the sign we adhear to we believe . We that believe must take on his death burial and we shall ressurect with him at his coming  Luk 2:34 ASV - and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;   Sign Greek: semeion  Miracle:
"a sign, mark, token" (akin to semaino, "to give a sign;" sema, "a sign"), is used of "miracles" and wonders as signs of Divine authority; it is translated "miracles" in the RV and AV of Luk 23:8; Act 4:16,
    Read   Luke 2:25-35
 
 Luk 11:29 ASV - And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
Luk 11:30 ASV - For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
Mar 8:31 ASV - And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Luk 22:66 ASV - And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,
Luk 22:67 ASV - If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
Luk 22:68 ASV - and if I ask you, ye will not answer.
Luk 22:69 ASV - But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
Luk 21:6 ASV - As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 
Seventy years later  Jerusalem was distroyed and burn to the ground , every stone was thrown down to the ground as Jesus said .     Mat 24:2 ASV - But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.    The number Seventy in bible numerics is Restoration

Cup of Agony

                             As I read in 1 Peter 2 :24 and come to the word Stripes , I am reminded of Luke 4 :18  Jesus was fulfilling the prophecy of himself as to his going to his cross.  The only way these wonderful prophecy's could be fulfilled is by his crucifixion  and death on the cross . Isaiah 61 and Luke 4:18 .
1Pe 2:21 ASV - For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1Pe 2:22 ASV - who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1Pe 2:23 ASV - who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1Pe 2:24 ASV - who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.  Stripes 
Greek: molops  Stripe:
"a bruise, a wound from a stripe," is used in 1Pe 2:24 (from the Sept. of Isa 53:5), lit., in the original, "by whose bruise," not referring to Christ's scourging, but figurative of the stroke of Divine judgment administered vicariously to Him on the Cross (a comforting reminder to these Christian servants, who were not infrequently buffeted, ver. 20, by their masters).
The Lord reminds me daily of the great and vast amount of people on this earth that suffer this Bruising ,  a terrible spiritual affliction that affects the very heart of the many souls that suffers this .  A situation that can only be healed by the blood of Jesus .  Jesus said a body thou hast made for me
 Heb 10:4 ASV - For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 ASV - Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,    But a body didst thou prepare for me;

Heb 10:6 ASV - In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:
Luk 4:17 ASV - And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,  Jesus in his deity suffered the shame of the cross and only Jesus could take away the sin of the world once and for all .  Luk 4:18 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,    Bruised Greek: thrauo   Bruise:
"to smite through, shatter," is used in Luk 4:18, "them that are bruised," i.e., broken by calamity.
Luk 4:19 ASV - To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luk 4:20 ASV - And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luk 4:21 ASV - And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.
Today the scripture became life ever lasting , and he said to all that hear this word having ears to hear it will become life to them .   Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God  .                     For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.  Romans 12 : 1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.   And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  

I am remembering a verse where a mother came to Jesus with her two sons and ask that they be seated with Christ in his throne in Gods kingdom .  Matt  20-28     this blog is about our cross we are to bear.  Jesus said we will not be worthy of him if we do not pick up our cross and follow him .   Where is Jesus going that we must follow Jhn 14:4 ASV - And whither I go, ye know the way.Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.  We have our own cross to bear , putting to death the deeds of the flesh .  Becoming a living sacrifice unto God Rom 12  -  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.    Jesus said    I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.  1Jo 2:5 ASV - but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:  he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
1Co 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  Jhn 3:6 ASV - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:   Jesus is the example we are to follow he went to his cross and his flesh man became a sacrifice once and for all for the sins of the world . It says he God sent Jesus his only son to this earth in a body like yours and mine to take away our sins in this body of flesh.  We are all born of Adam and his nature into this body of flesh.  He was the first Adam and Jesus became the second Adam , so the word reconciliation come into view here. To be reconciled to some one or something means to have had or now have a relationship with some one or something in the past .  Adam failed God being disobedient to his commandments  . Adam and Eve was cast out of the garden and God put a curse on him and his offspring from that time foward.  Every man born on this earth is born after the loins of Adam we are born of his flesh and of his nature .

  Colo 2 :1-15          And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;   having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;  having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Isa 53:8 ASV - By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?

Isa 53:9 ASV - And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Isa 53:10 ASV - Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
 Hebrew Daka Bruise to crush, be crushed, be contrite, be broken  As I was praying about the understanding to this word and the revelation of its meaning . I saw in the spirit a person holding a Chrystal vase and as I watched they held  out the vase and let it drop it was in slow motion as it it the floor and it exploded into a thousand pieces it went all over the floor . And I heard a voice in my mind say man cannot put this back together again but God in his mercy can , he can restore this broken vessel completely. The vase was the soul of a bruised , crushed person . The world today has so many bruised souls searching for the restoration of their hearts to be truly healed and have that peace that passes all understanding .  Jhn 14:27 ASV - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.   People of every age and walk of life suffer from this crushed spirit. Its called Rejection and this rejection is from satan and it is meant to destroy as many souls as he can before they come to Christ the restorer of your souls by way of his atoning blood .   
Jesus is the only remedy for this debilitating spirit ,  he suffered this to bring freedom to all peoples in this world.

2Co 5:18 ASV - But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Isa 53:11 ASV - He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
Isa 53:12 ASV - Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

- Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand .   Every one born of God and knoweth God is that seed , the fruit of Christ the son of God the word made flesh .  Remember Jesus was the sower of the seed of his father he was anointed to bring the good news of his father .  Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for the sins of the world , Jesus paid your ransom he was sold for thirty pieces of silver . Silver is a type and shadow that  signifies the atoning blood of the Lamb .   Lev 17:11 ASV - For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.   The number 30  in bible numerics is the Blood of Christ upon the altar .   For it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

So by his bruising and being crushed taking the stripes that were meant for us ,   Jesus just before he was betrayed in the garden  Mat 26:39 ASV - And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

The Cup is referring to the Agony he suffered The cup of  Agony:
ag'-o-ni (agonia; Vulgate agonia): A word occurring only once in the New Testament (Lu 22:44), and used to describe the climax of the mysterious soul-conflict and unspeakable suffering of our Lord in the garden at Gethsemane. The term is derived from the Greek agon "contest" and this in turn from the Greek ago "to drive or lead," as in a chariot race. Its root idea is the struggle and pain of the severest athletic contest or conflict.                                                                          Luk 22:42 ASV - saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.  And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

1. Physical:
The agony of His soul wrought its pain on His body, until "his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground" (Lu 22:44, omitted by some ancient authorities). He offered His prayers and supplications "with strong crying and tears" (#He 5:7). The intensity of His struggle so distressed and weakened Him that Luke says "there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him." The threefold record of the evangelists conveys the idea of the intensest physical pain. As the wire carries the electric current, so every nerve in Jesus' physical being felt the anguish of His sensitive soul as He took upon Himself the burden of the world's sin and moral evil.
2. Mental:
The crisis of Jesus' career as Messiah and Redeemer came in Gethsemane. The moral issue of His atoning work was intelligently and voluntarily met here. The Gospels exhaust language in attempting to portray the stress and struggle of this conflict. "My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death." "Being in an agony he prayed more earnestly, saying, Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me." The mental clearness of Christ's vision of humanity's moral guilt and the energy of will necessary to meet the issue and take "this cup" of being the world's sin- bearer, indicate the awful sorrow and anguish of His supernatural conflict. It is divinely significant that the word "agony" appears but once in all Scripture. This solitary word records a solitary experience. Only One ever compassed the whole range of the world's sorrow and pain, anguish and agony. The shame of criminal arrest in the garden and of subsequent condemnation and death as a malefactor had to His innocent soul the horror of humanity's entire and ageless guilt. The mental and moral anguish of Jesus in Gethsemane interprets the meaning of Paul's description of the atonement, "Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf" (2Co 5:21).
3. Spiritual:
The agony of Jesus was supremely within the realm of His spirit. The effect of sin in separating the human soul from God was fathomed by the suffering Saviour in the fathomless mystery of His supernatural sorrow. Undoubtedly the anguish of Gethsemane surpassed the physical torture of Calvary. The whole conflict was wrought out here. Jesus' filial spirit, under the burden of the world's guilt, felt isolated from the Father. This awful, momentary seclusion from His Father's face constituted the "cup" which He prayed might pass from Him, and the "agony" of soul, experienced again on the cross, when He felt that God had forsaken Him.
Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
2Ti 3:1 ASV - But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.    For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

The last days are upon us and we must see that time is short as to our believing and living this word of God .  1Jo 2:15 ASV - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

You must be born again my friend  born of the water and of the spirit ,  just as Jesus spoke to his disciples in Mark 16-15-20  To be filled with the holy spirit as in the book of Acts 2-38  it is just as real today as in that day . With out repentance no man shall see God to turn from your sins and walk towards the cross of Christ .  Jesus  said that he prayed to his father that he would give the promise of his spirit to all that believed a helper a comforter .   This word says it is real and for today the world says it is not . Who do you believe Christ or this lost world. 
Luk 24:49 ASV - And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.   Luk 24:49 KJV - And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Endued   Greek: enduo
Clothe:  (Eng., "endue"), signifies "to enter into, get into," as into clothes, "to put on," e.g., Mar 1:6; Luk 8:27 (in the best mss.); 24:49 (AV, "endued"); 2Cr 5:3; Rev 1:13; 19:14. to put on oneself, be clothed with," is used metaphorically of power, Luk 24:49, RV, "clothed.
Act 14:21 ASV - And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
Act 14:22 ASV - confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

  Greek: thlipsis  Tribulations     Afflict (-ed), Affliction:
primarily means "a pressing, pressure" (see A, No. 4), anything which burdens the spirit. In two passages in Paul's Epistles it is used of future retribution, in the way of "affliction," Rom 2:9; 2Th 1:6. In Mat 24:9, the AV renders it as a verb, "to be afflicted," (RV, "unto tribulation"). It is coupled with stenochoria, "anguish," in Rom 2:9; 8:35; with ananke, "distress," 1Th 3:7; with diogmos, "persecution," Mat 13:21; Mar 4:17; 2Th 1:4. It is used of the calamities of war, Mat 24:21, 29; Mar 13:19, 24; of want, 2Cr 8:13, lit., "distress for you;" Phl 4:14 (cp. Phl 1:16); Jam 1:27; of the distress of woman in child-birth, Jhn 16:21; of persecution, Act 11:19; 14:22; 20:23; 1Th 3:3, 7; Hbr 10:33; Rev 2:10; 7:14; of the "afflictions" of Christ, from which (His vicarious sufferings apart) his followers must not shrink, whether sufferings of body or mind, Col 1:24; of sufferings in general, 1Cr 7:28; 1Th 1:6, etc.

Mat 26:39 ASV - And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Greek: poterion  Cup:    figurative, of one's lot or experience, joyous or sorrowful (frequent in the Psalms; cp. Psa 116:18, "cup of salvation"); in the NT it is used most frequently of the sufferings of Christ, Mat 20:22, 23; 26:39; Mar 10:38, 39; 14:36; Luk 22:42; Jhn 18:11
Mat 20:21 ASV - And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.
Mat 20:22 ASV - But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.
Mat 20:23 ASV - He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.      
 1Co 5:7 KJV - Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.    We have a spiritual  cross to bear my friend .   Jesus accomplish the physcial now we accomplish the spiritual ! It is Christ in you the hope of glory seeing Jesus in that mirror not our flesh .

Rev 19:6 ASV - And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.
Rev 19:7 ASV - Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Mat 22:11 ASV - But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
Mat 22:12 ASV - and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13 ASV - Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 ASV - For many are called, but few chosen.

Matt 24:14 And Than The End Shall Come

                            Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:    Become Greek: ginomai  Arise, Arose, Arouse, Raise, Rise, Rouse:   "to become, to take place," is sometimes suitably translated "arise;" e.g., Mat 8:24; Mar 4:37     Mat 4:16 ASV - The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.   When Jesus told Nicodemus you must be born again to see the kingdom of God .                                      Adam became a living soul God breathe his breath in the nostrels of and he became a living soul .  Every one born upon this earth has become a living soul unto God we are his creation .  

 1Co 15:19 ASV - If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.   But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
          For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.       For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.   So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.     Jhn 3:5 ASV - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.         who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.   We were all born of Adams blood and Adams will and of his flesh our natural fathers were also born of Adam.  Adam gave us his flesh and it will die  some day For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.   Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.     1Co 15:38 ASV - but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
1Co 15:47 ASV - The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.      As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.    We have a cross to bear and that cross is the one Jesus spoke of in   Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.   We spiritually put to death the deeds of our flesh daily on our spiritual cross ,    Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:   that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.    For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:  because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:    and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.    This christian walk is more than to speak his name in passing , it is to live in the power of that name .  Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.   We must realize the world is coming to a close everything that was spoken in Rev is soon coming to pass .  Jesus has told the church as to what is coming and the end of this age in Matt 24 .    To be born again is to be filled with his spirit as in the book of Acts 2 :38  And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.   For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. Act 19:1 ASV - And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples:    and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given.   And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.   And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And they were in all about twelve men.

Luk 24:47 ASV - and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.   Ye are witnesses of these things.  And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high .  How is it that these same Apostles proclaimed and wrote the letters to the church the true gospel they received from Christ himself .  Years afterward they were writing this truth to you and I . The church today has lost its way as to the original church .     Jhn 10:1 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.  

Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
Mar 16:16 ASV - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mar 16:19 ASV - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 ASV - And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
Mat 24:14 ASV - And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.

Our Cross Is The Altar We Embrace

    Jhn 3:35 KJV - The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

Jhn 3:36 KJV - He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. 
LIFE Greek: zoe  Life, Living, Lifetime, Life-Giving:
(Eng., "zoo," "zoology") is used in the NT "of life as a principle, life in the absolute sense, life as God has it, that which the Father has in Himself, and which He gave to the Incarnate Son to have in Himself, Jhn 5:26, and which the Son manifested in the world, 1Jo 1:2. From this life man has become alienated in consequence of the Fall, Eph 4:18, and of this life men become partakers through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Jhn 3:15, who becomes its Author to all such as trust in Him, Act 3:15, and who is therefore said to be 'the life' of the believer, Col 3:4, for the life that He gives He maintains, Jhn 6:35, 63. Eternal life is the present actual possession of the believer because of his relationship with Christ, Jhn 5:24; 1Jo 3:14, and that it will one day extend its domain to the sphere of the body is assured by the Resurrection of Christ, 2Cr 5:4; 2Ti 1:10. This life is not merely a principle of power and mobility, however, for it has moral associations which are inseparable from it, as of holiness and righteousness. Death and sin, life and holiness, are frequently contrasted in the Scriptures.
Mat 7:21 ASV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 

Will   Greek: thelema  Will, Would:
signifies    "that which is willed, of the will of God," e.g., Mat 18:14; Mar 3:35, the fulfilling being a sign of spiritual relationship to the Lord; Jhn 4:34; 5:30; 6:39, 40; Act 13:22, plural, "my desires;" Rom 2:18; 12:2, lit., "the will of God, the good and perfect and acceptable;"                                                    
   Rom 12:1 ASV - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.  Luke 9:3 Matt10:38
  Rom12:2       And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.     The only way we can renew our minds from this world is that we must be born again of Gods spirit and to study and read this word of grace , feed upon this word of God.  This what Jesus meant when he said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood   I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.  For the life of Christ is in his word the gospel of his father , and his blood is his very life to partake of his blood is to walk as he walked to manifest the fruit of Jesus the son of God. The fruit of his spirit
 1Co 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.   Jesus Told Phillip when he said show us the father and we will be satisfied .  Jesus said he came to show us the father and what the will of the father was for those that would believe .   Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.    If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.   Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
Jhn 14:10 ASV - Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.
2Co 5:18 ASV - But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;    to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.                                                                                                                                                                                       We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

Luk 6:5 ASV - And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.  Jesus was the fulfilling of the Law   Mat 3:13 ASV - Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

Mat 3:15 ASV - But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.  A sign unto us is his death burial and resurrection                                        
   Rom 6:3 ASV - Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?    We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.   For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;   knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;  

  Jhn 14:11 ASV - Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Jhn 14:12 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.

The power to over come is in Christ Jesus and the beginning of our salvation is to be filled with the spirit of God from the day of Pentecost until this very day God is calling his people and he stands at the door and knocks . People are being filled this very day and walking in the power of God this is the promise of the father to those that believe .                                                            

   Rev 3:20 ASV - Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Luk 11:13 ASV - If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.  To you and to you children and to all that are a far off.    Even today my friend

Putting On The Righteous Garments Of The Saints

    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.    I was meditating  on this word of the great commandment of Jesus in Mark 16 the whole chapter is about the Death,  burial and the resurrection of Jesus  Christ  .   But starting with the verse 15 and to the end of the chapter is what I was looking at and trying to understand . I see this commandment is to every believer true believer of the word of his Gospel.  Paul said their will come others preaching another gospel .  
                                Jhn 10:1 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Jhn 10:2 ASV - But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Jhn 10:7 ASV - Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Jhn 10:8 ASV - All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Jhn 10:9 ASV - I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.             Jhn 6:44 ASV - No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day. Only through Christ Jesus can a man be saved he is the only door unto God his father .   Jesus said I am the vine and you are the branches
1Co 15:20 ASV - But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
1Co 15:23 ASV - But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
Jas 1:18 ASV - Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.        Jhn 15:5 ASV - I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.                                     I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.      "Husbandman," Himself as the Vine, His disciples as the branches, the object being to bear much fruit, life in Christ producing the fruit of the Spirit, i.e., character and ways in conformity to Christ.    The importance of this is that their are people today that have came and partook of this great truth but in time they have fallen away .   Yet we see that Jesus said we must bear much fruit   Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.   Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples.     Eph 5:8 ASV - For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
Eph 5:9 ASV - (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),  Obedience is the key here as to walking in the light of Gods word .  Jesus saith unto his disciples, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.  Jesus is that door unto his Father , and we must come through that door to get to the father. 
Eph 5:10 ASV - proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;    Jesus said he was the way the truth and the light    Light Greek Phos        Man, naturally, is incapable of receiving spiritual light inasmuch as he lacks the capacity for spiritual things, 1Cr 2:14. Hence believers are called 'sons of light,' Luk 16:8, not merely because they have received a revelation from God, but because in the New Birth they have received the spiritual capacity for it.   Acts 2:38  Peter spoke the words of life in this world today when the men that heard his words and were broken in their hearts the word says they were pricked as a thorn to the heart . Pricked  Prick (Verb): primarily, "to strike or prick violently, to stun," is used of strong emotion, in Act 2:37  of the emotion of sorrow .      For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Mar 16:14 ASV - And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen.
Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.  The Gospel  !    only one Gospel the good news
Mar 16:16 ASV - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mar 16:19 ASV - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 ASV - And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

Mat 7:22 ASV - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
Mat 7:23 ASV - And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  So I say to myself how is it that Jesus says he will reject a man or a woman that has manifisted these great gifts . It is because they have iniquity in their hearts.  I studied this as carefully as I could asking the Lord to show me in his word how this could happen .
Having the gifts as we read above or signs is not what will save us it is holiness and righteousness walking as Jesus walked   1Jo 2:4 ASV - He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
1Jo 2:5 ASV - but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
1Jo 2:6 ASV - he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.

Mat 22:14 ASV - For many are called, but few chosen.   Called  Greek: kletos  Call, Called, Calling:   "called, invited," is used,                                                                                                                                                                 Rev 19:7 ASV - Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.   Mat 22:11 ASV - But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
Mat 22:12 ASV - and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.   2Co 5:2 ASV - For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:
2Co 5:3 ASV - if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
Rev 19:9 ASV - And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.

"of the call of the Gospel," Mat 20:16; 22:14, not there "an effectual call," as in the Epistles, Rom 1:1, 6, 7; 8:28; 1Cr 1:2, 24; Jud 1:1; Rev 17:14; in Rom 1:7; 1Cr 1:2 the meaning is "saints by calling;"
Chosen Greek: eklektos  Choice, Choose, Chosen:
akin to A, No. 1, signifies "chosen out, select," e.g., Mat 22:14; Luk 23:35; Rom 16:13 (perhaps in the sense of "eminent"); Rev 17:14. In 1Pe 2:4, 9, the RV translates it "elect."
The source of their "election" is God's grace, not human will, Eph 1:4, 5; Rom 9:11; 11:5. They are given by God the Father to Christ as the fruit of His death, all being foreknown and foreseen by God, Jhn 17:6; Rom 8:29. While Christ's death was sufficient for all men, and is effective in the case of the "elect," yet men are treated as responsible, being capable of the will and power to choose. For the rendering "being chosen as firstfruits," an alternative reading in 2Th 2:13, see FIRSTFRUITS.
Luk 13:24 ASV - Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.  Rmembering Jesus is the door to the sheep fold there is no other way unto heaven except through Jesus the way the truth and the Life .   There is only one Gospel the good news and that is the words Jesus spoke to us in the scriptures .  This is about eternal salvation people this is the power of Gods word to save you or condemn you .

  1Pe 4:5 ASV - who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
1Pe 4:6 ASV - For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1Pe 4:7 ASV - But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:as we know it is slowly closing down , the end of all things is at hand .

The verse below could it be about people that did not consider the calling of God as a matter of life and death .      Jhn 6:63 ASV - It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.
Phl 1:27 ASV - Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

The verses below are about people that did not consider the calling of God as a matter of life and death .     
Luk 13:25 ASV - When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;
Luk 13:26 ASV - then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets;
Luk 13:27 ASV - and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luk 13:28 ASV - There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast forth without.
 Mat 7:20 ASV - Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat 7:21 ASV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.   What is the will of the father to us today that live in this world of evil .  Rom 12:1 ASV - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.  And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God . Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.   Jesus is saying if we do not crucify this old man our flesh on our spiritual cross we will not be worthy of him .   Rom 8:6 ASV - For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:   because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

Rom 13:11 ASV - And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.
Rom 13:12 ASV - The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Rom 13:14 ASV - But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Mat 7:23 ASV - And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mat 7:24 ASV - Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:
Mat 7:25 ASV - and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.
Mat 7:26 ASV - And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
Mat 7:27 ASV - and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
Heb 6:4 ASV - For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Heb 6:5 ASV - and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,
Heb 6:6 ASV - and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Heb 6:7 ASV - For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:
Heb 6:8 ASV - but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.
2Co 6:16 ASV - And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2Co 6:17 ASV - Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
2Co 6:18 ASV - And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord   Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.    I was meditating  on this word of the great commandment of Jesus in Mark 16 the whole chapter is about the Death,  burial and the resurrection of Jesus  Christ  .   But starting with the verse 15 and to the end of the chapter is what I was looking at and trying to understand .

Heb 6:7 ASV - For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:
Heb 6:8 ASV - but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.
2Co 6:16 ASV - And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

2Co 6:18 ASV - And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord  Almighty                                                                                                                                                                              2Co 7:1 ASV - Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Mat 13:24 ASV - Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:  The good seed is Gods word preached out of the mouth of Jesus Christ to the world.      Luk 8:8 ASV - And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold.

Mat 13:25 ASV - but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.   Slept Greek: katheudo  Asleep, Sleep:   of carnal indifference to spiritual things on the part of believers, Eph 5:14; 1Th 5:6, 10 (as in Mar 13:36), a condition of insensibility to Divine things involving conformity to the world .

Mat 13:27 ASV - And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?
     Sowing the good seed                   Greek: sperma  Seed: to 1Jo 3:9, "his seed abideth in him," it is possible to understand this as meaning that children of God (His "seed") abide in Him, and do not go on doing (practicing) sin (the verb "to commit" does not represent the original in this passage). Alternatively, the "seed" signifies the principle of spiritual life as imparted to the believer, which abides in him without possibility of removal or extinction; the child of God remains eternally related to Christ, he who lives in sin has never become so related, he has not the principle of life in him. This meaning suits the context and the general tenor of the Epistle.

   Act 2:37 ASV - Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:39 ASV - For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
                                                                                                                                                                             2Co 7:1 ASV - Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
